Each unique masterpiece uses non-toxic paints and is part of the Bobcat’s environmental and behavioral enrichment. This original canvas frame painting features green pawprints and measures 9×12 inches and was made by Tufts (with help from his keeper).
An animal’s enrichment program is specially designed based on their species and their individual needs. These enrichment programs are designed to keep our animals active, mentally alert, and interacting with their habitats. They stimulate natural behaviors such as foraging, hunting, problem solving, and play.
